This will be a very brief update as I am at the post office Internet cafe in town and the connection is somewhat unreliable.

Benny and Susanne arrived on Wednesday evening with Rachel, Jason, and Daniel. Mutta, Abella and I prepared fish tacos for everyone that evening in celebration of their arrival. They turned out very different from the tacos we eat at home, but still very delicious!

Yesterday Abella and I stayed home while Mutta and Susanne went to town to buy some things for the party. Mutta and some friends also cut down some large bamboo to make a tent in the front yard for the party! I will take some photos when the tent is completed.

Today, Abella went with her cousin Newstar to her Aunt Annalisa's house while we came to town to run some errands. Tomorrow evening we will have a wedding party at home and I think many friends and family will be there to celebrate with us.

Sunday we plan to leave to go back to Dar es Salaam. Abella and I will ride with Benny and Susanne and family in the van. Mutta will fly because there is not enough room for all of us to drive.

Although my nursing skills may be a little rusty when I return, everyone here seems to know that I am a nurse and come to me for bandaids and zofran:)

We are enjoying our time here in Bukoba very much and I hate to think about leaving soon.
